Link to the Show / Show NotesOn the show this week:
-By the Dicking of this Doll, Something's Fuckin' Creepy, Y'all
-We Interrupt this Regularly Scheduled Broadcast For...
-Something Vaguely Entertaining
We start out with the topography of The Boy's back and the meteorological variables of Sanguinist's hometown before bragging about our impressive (for us) stats.
Moving into the scheduled topics, we discuss Roxxxy, a rather expensive talking, touch-sensitive sex doll with multiple personalities that can be customized to the individual owner. While we don't tend to judge folks based on their particular kink, all the hosts tend to find this doll creepy. On a sociological level, we look at the disturbing trend of replacing real human interactions with online/impersonal ones as well as the Uncanny Valley, the creep factor involved when robots/synthetic actors get a little too human (see Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within or The Polar Express.) Don't fret, Gentle Listener, we also make a ton of off color jokes to make up for it.
We then weigh in on the weighty topic of the nasty NBC shuffle job pulled on Jay Leno, Conan O'Brien, and Jimmy Fallon, looking at the two version of the behind-the-scenes story we've heard. We also float the concept that, in the far-flung future, we'll be watching a late-night battle of Zombie Letterman versus Leno's cybernetic chin.
Also under the 'interruptions' category, Largo launches into his rant about Sony pulling Sam Raimi off of Spider-Man and rebooting the series. We also ask Sam, should be be listening, to talk to Marvel Entertainment to see if there's another character/series (possibly Marvel Zombies) that he can take because we like his work. We also ask him to get us in touch with Bruce Campbell, 'cause that would be cool.
With a loose definition of 'entertainment', we then move into Chiller's 'premieres': âDo You Like Hitchcockâ and âHack!â âHitchcockâ was a little slice of crud, a Swedish production starring British actors, filmed in Italy, and directed by Italy's foremost goremaster (making a film that isn't allowed to show gore because it's a Hitchcock homage.) Marvel at Weenie-Man, the irresistible stick-boy, and his stealthy weeniemoped. And that makes it sound far more interesting than it is. Hack!, on the other hand, was a mostly-watchable (if almost painfully self-referential) homage to the horror genre as a whole starring Winnie from The Wonder Years. Spoilers, such as they are, abound.
